A mother whose husband was forced to leave the country a year ago faces a further three-month agonising wait to hear of his fate.

Debbie Catwell Forde’s family was torn apart last October when her husband Robin was kicked out of the UK and told to return to his homeland of Barbados.

Debbie, 45, and the couple’s four children, Kara, 17, Kennedy, 13, Kyslie, 10, and seven-year-old Kristofer, have only seen Robin once in 12 months when they flew out to Barbados in March.

They have been living each day in the hope that they will get the result of their appeal, asking officials to reconsider the ruling, but have just been hit with the news that it could now be February when they get a decision.
